Memorial Day Weekend

Steve and I spent Memorial Day Weekend in St. George, Utah. It was a nice and relaxing vacation. We had the urge to get out of town but didn't want to spend too much money so it was nice to head down South. We left on Friday afternoon after dropping our Macey off at Little Dog Resorts. I was so sad leaving her...didn't know I would ever feel that way! But she had so much fun playing with the other dogs while we were gone. We checked into our hotel that evening and went straight for the pool! Afterwards we had dinner at a Mexican restaurant - Poncho and Lefty's - it was pretty good. I had to have Nielsens Frozen Custard that night - a must when going to St. George! It was AWESOME - although I dont' think Steve will be having it anytime soon...he got really sick that night.

On Saturday, we woke up and drove to Zions National Park. It was so beautiful...it's been several years since I had been and we thought it would be fun to drive in and walk around. Well, I guess we weren't really thinking - Saturday of Memorial weekend - not the best time to want to go into Zions. It was packed and there wasn't any parking. Needless to say, we made it a driving trip only. We stopped at a Trading Post in Virgin on our way back. Steve saw the "Wild Ass Saloon" on the way in and said he had to get his picture in front of that sign. We paid $1 to go into the mini-petting zoo. On our way back to St. George we saw the mileage post to Colorado City...we were both curious and since it was only 20 miles away we took a little jaunt to Colorado City...let's just say it was interesting. The folks there live a completely different life-style than I am used to but to each is own...right?! Saturday night we drove into Mesquite Nevada and had dinner at the Casablanca hotel and casino. We hung out for awhile and played a few games then headed back to St. George.

We spent Sunday being lazy, hanginig out at our hotel, going to the pool and having some yummy dinner at Texas Roadhouse! We headed home on Monday...we were so excited to see our little Macey. We missed her the whole time but it was so nice to get away and enjoy time together.
